IMPROVEMENT IN CUSPADORES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 178,025, dated May 30,1876; application iled April 20, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB PFUND, of La Crosse, in the county of LaGrosse andv State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Spittoon, ot' which the following is a specication:

My invention relates `to cuspadores; and it consists in the constructionand arrangement ofa base and a cuspadore removably placed in the same,as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to. describe itsconstructionand operation, refer. ring to the annexed drawings, whichform a part ot' this specification, and in which- Figure l is a sideView. Fig. 2 is a Vertical sectional view through the cuspadore andbase.

A represents the base for my cuspadore, which base may be struck up ofsheet metal, or otherwise formed ot paper or any other suitablematerial. AIt is made in circular form, with its center raised, asshown, and its outer edge corrugated. Base A has no bottom, but

rests upon the door at its edges, where it may be provided with a rim,it' desired. In the raised center ofthe base is a circular aperture,around which is a downwardly projecting flange, a, as shown; I

The' cuspadore is formed of a cylindrical body, B, closed at the bottom,and` provided at its upper edge with a flaring top or mouth,

O. The bodyB should be of such diameter as to t snugly in the centralaperture and iange ,of the base, and of such height relative to the basethat when inserted therein the cuspadore will rest on the door. When notnecessary to clean the base the cuspadore can be lifted out of the same,taken out to be emptied and cleaned, and returned to its place again.

The cuspadore and base may be made per- Y tectly plain, or more or lessornamented, as desired, according to the taste or fancy of themanufacturer and purchasers.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secureby Letters Patent, is f l. The bottomless base A, raisedin the center and provided with a central aperture, the flange a, or itsequivalent, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

2. A cuspadore formed of a cylindrical body, B, and ila-ring top ormouth C, in combination with a bottomless base, A, having a centralaperture, through which the body is passed, and resting on the floor,substantially as herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aflix my signaturein presence of two witnesses. f

JACOB' PFUND.
